## **Trustees Annual Report** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2022. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objects are to advance the education of the public in mathematics. We aim to achieve this, ultimately, through the creation of the UK’s first visitor attraction inviting young people and their families to discover the joy and power of mathematics through hands-on experiments and challenges. 

In practice our work involves creating engaging and accessible exhibitions and collections of mathematics interactives, sparking excitement, curiosity and engagement with the wonders of maths. We deliver playful workshops and activities exploring exciting mathematical topics. This work takes place alongside furthering our main mission by raising our public profile and building the business case for a national Mathematics Discovery Centre. 

The major milestone this year was opening MathsCity, a long-term popup hands-on maths centre in the heart of Leeds. With the support of Leeds Business Improvement District, a suitable pop-up site was found in Trinity Leeds, offered free of rental charges for one year. Trinity Leeds was by far our most preferred location, being a 1 million sq. ft retail and leisure destination in the centre of Leeds City Centre, attracting an estimated 23 million visitors a year. It is the closest shopping centre to Leeds train station and is a 5- minute walk to the bus station (0.3 miles). The shopping centre has its own car park with 630 spaces and is easily accessible for coach drop offs along Boar Lane. MathsCity is next to the popular Trinity Kitchen food court, and the unit is offered rent free (the rateable value of the unit is £121,000). 

Trinity Leeds invested in work to strip back the space to a ‘white box’, carrying the associated costs of approx. £100,000. 

Once exhibits and fittings are accounted for the available space is approximately 290m[ 2] allowing a maximum occupancy of 58 people. 

The exhibits created for the touring exhibition form the core of the MathsCity experience. These have been supplemented with new exhibits linked to geometry, so as to create a stand-alone visitor experience. 

Funding was secured from Leeds Business Improvement District and CIVA in addition to funds from Mathenaeum, and various other sources, to fit out the unit and meet other associated costs. MathsCity https://mathscity.co.uk/  is now fully installed and operational. 

## **Public benefit** 

MathsWorldUK works for the benefit of the general public by fostering a greater appreciation of and interest in mathematics. 

Mathematics is increasingly important across many disciplines: science, medicine, engineering, technology, communications, AI and Big Data, finance, economics and more. It is a fundamental tool enabling us to analyse and comprehend the world around us, and to solve some of the most urgent problems facing society in today’s complex world. This has been brought into sharp focus during the Covid-19 pandemic.

## **Year Ended 31st January 2022** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

Maths brings together essential skills - in reasoning, creativity, abstract and spatial thinking, critical thinking and problem-solving - that enable us to participate fully in society and to build fulfilling and resilient lives. The negative economic, social, and health and wellbeing impacts of poor maths skills in adult life are well evidenced, yet the mathematics skills gap – the difference between the numbers of mathematically literate people that we need and the number that we actually have - in the UK remains too large. 

We aim that our hands-on activities in MathsCity should improve national attitudes towards Mathematics. This and ultimately the creation of the Mathematics Discovery Centre with hands-on activities will then contribute significantly to increasing the proportion and diversity of young people engaging confidently with mathematics and choosing to continue with mathematical study in further and higher education beyond age 16 and into college and university. 

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in agreeing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. 

## **Who engaged with and benefited from our activities?** 

The pandemic means that the need for MathsWorldUK’s offer is greater than ever. School children across the country have fallen behind in their learning (most marked for those in the most economically and socially deprived areas). Governmental remedial measures proposed all involve more rote learning and at this time the need to bring joy, exploration and resilience into maths learning is most keenly felt. 

MathsCity opened to the public on 4th October 2021, and we are very pleased with the reception and the footfall MathsCity has had. 

Between 5th October and 10th January MathsCity has had: 

- 2188 pre-booked visitors 

- 352 pay-on-the-door visitors 

- and 464 school student visitors 

Schools are spreading the word amongst each other and making repeat bookings. We will make our formal evaluation plans in 2022. 

Part of the work of MathsWorldUK is changing national perceptions around mathematics.  MathsCity has been a vehicle for this part of our work. All the ITV regional news featured MathsCity in a mathematics piece. MathsCity comes across well in the video: https://fb.watch/95hPu1DM-G/ Our social media presence is growing. A good video showing potential visitors what MathsCity is like was made by a local vlogger who shows what activities are available in the Leeds city area: https://twitter.com/LeedsPlusSocial/status/1451269462787829760 

We now feature on TripAdvisor and are ranked 92 out of 305 things to do in Leeds, a quick break through into the charts. 

We are enormously grateful to our many funders and supporters, who have extended their support for our plans and reaffirmed their commitment to MathsWorldUK throughout this period.

## **Year Ended 31st January 2022** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

## **Financial review** 

The financial activity of the charity during the year and the position at the end of the year are set within this report. 

MathsWorldUK receives no ongoing core public subsidy and relies on project grants and donations to deliver its activities. 

The year ending January 2022 was one of continued upheaval for many organisations. MathsWorldUK was protected from some of this as it does not yet rely on income generated from its activities, but on grant funding. Core costs are minimized where possible as non MathsCity staff are employed on a freelance and secondment basis. MathsCity has been open since October 5[th] and it fortunately wasn’t necessary for the centre to shut during any of the Covid waves due to new variants. 

In addition to the contributions shown in the financial statements MWUK received valuable in-kind support from the University of Leeds, in the form of staff time given to public engagement and outreach activity, and fundraising support. The charity also benefited from the support of individual volunteers helping to deliver and develop its MathsCity programmes. 

Costs incurred in 2021/22 related mainly to staffing, outreach activity and the development of MathsCity. 

In the coming year fundraising will focus on the second year of MathsCity operations and on development activity for MathsCity and the Mathematics Discovery Centre. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have agreed that MWUK should aim to build up its reserve to the level of 6 months of its ongoing expenditure. The charity ended the year with £31,276 in free reserves, a decrease on the sum of £37,192 held the previous year, reflecting the cost of setting up MathsCity and its operations. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

MathsWorldUK is a company limited by guarantee (no. 8370409 formed on 22 January 2013. It was registered as a charity (no. 1155010) in November 2013. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law and who served during the year are listed on p. 1. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All the Trustees are members of the company and the liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. 

Membership of the Board is regularly reviewed to ensure the right balance of skills and expertise. New Trustees will be recruited in the coming year in preparation for increased activity relating to the development of the Mathematics Discovery Centre.

## **Year Ended 31st January 2022** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

The charity is led by the Executive Committee which meets every month and is overseen by the Board of Trustees, meeting twice a year. Day to day management of the organisation is delegated to the CEO, who has an active role in delivering outreach activity alongside a small team of volunteers, while leading development work and fundraising for the Mathematics Discovery Centre. 

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The 2011 Charities Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:- 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- Prepare financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence. 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP 2019 FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

• All voluntary income is recognised as donations and is included in full, with associated Gift Aid receivable in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

• Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

• Income resources from charitable trading activities such as Mathematics experiences and activities are accounted for when invoices are drawn up (as the point of entitlement). 

• Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. 

• Gifts in Kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. 

• Volunteer time, the value of voluntary support for the work of the Charity is not included in the accounts but is described in the notes to the accounts. 

• Investment Income is included in the accounts when receivable.

## **Capital Expenditure Incurred** 

Due to the way capital assets are accounted for under the charity's SORP FRS102 the assets purchased during the year are not captured with charitable activity expenditure. They are shown as additions with the fixed asset note. The value of the assets are written down as expenditure against the fund they were purchased from as deprecation over the useful life of the asset. The following table outlines the assets purchased and the deprecation which has been changed to the relevant fund.
